TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Cameron Forte certainly knows how to break out of the coach's doghouse. Forte hit a contested jump shot from the baseline with 7 seconds left in overtime to lift Georgia to a 66-65 victory over Alabama on Saturday night, a big improvement from the previous night when he was running the Coleman Coliseum steps as punishment. Coach Mark Fox didn't elaborate on Forte's infraction but said he felt confident the final shot was going in.
